Ballet
Classical Ballet is one of the most demanding art forms on the human body but still manages to capture the imagination of so many of us from a young age. Graceful and flowing lines and gravity defying leaps disguise the energy and skill needed to perform classical ballet.
Here at Mountway we teach the Royal Academy of Dancing (RAD) syllabus, which is the largest teaching and examining body of ballet. We teach the RAD syllabus from Pre Primary to Advanced levels, teaching the young dancer to have good posture, balance and coordination.
Mountway also offers non syllabus ballet classes to give the student the chance to gain better understanding of performance technique.

Tap
Tap dance is a form of dance characterised by the striking sounds of metal toe and heel taps against the floor as a form of percussion. Tap dance has evolved hugely worldwide and is very popular within musical theatre.
Mountway have great pleasure in teaching the ISTD Tap syllabus and are proud to be affiliated with the ISTD with whom are one of the world’s leading dance examination boards, offering the widest range of dance genres available.

Modern
Modern dance is a theatrical based style of dancing often seen in musical productions. It is high in energy and often consists of travelling steps, leaps, high kicks and the training of isolation. Modern can be taught and performed with a lyrical style and jazz style.
We are very proud at Mountway to teach the ISTD Modern syllabus, with which all students love and achieve high results.

Musical Theatre
Musical theatre by nature is a blend of acting, singing & dancing and is very much about storytelling. At Mountway we focus on the dancing aspect of the three disciplines. The classes are focused on theatre and stage performance techniques and are designed to bring the inner performer to the surface.
